Gift Wrap Organization

Happy Thursday!!
One more day and I get to enjoy a gal's weekend!
It's time for my church's ladies fall retreat and man am I ready!!
I recently added a gift wrap corner in my craft room and initially shared it at Today's Creative Blog.
Please tell me I'm not the only gift wrapaholic out there!!
It wasn't until I started organizing all that I had that I realized I might have an issue! It was a total mess before and I'd have to dig to find tissue paper and then couldn't really tell what all bags I had. Well now that I'm organized I've made a goal. To not buy any more until I use up most of what I have! Although places like the Target Dollar Spot will be challenging!

First thing I did was buy a narrow bookcase from Kmart (about $70). There is a similar one at Ikea for about $60 but there's not an Ikea in Oklahoma. And Kmart offered free shipping! I wanted a narrow one because I wanted to use this corner in my craft room. The cart I found at my church. It was just sitting in a spare office collecting dust so I asked if no one claimed it during some clean up if I could have it and was thrilled to bring it home! And the only other things I bought were the navy plastic tub and navy wire trash can from the Dollar tree. Keeping with how I decorated my craft room I found a file organizer and basket to spray paint pink. And here's what's what......

I do have some shred and small boxes tucked in the cube to the right of the cart.

And of course I had to do something on the top of the shelf. All items I had I just pulled them together!
